'Direct forward'Having brought in 23-year-old Icelandic international Hannes Sigurðsson from Stoke City FC yesterday, the Danish club have signed the 24-year-old Rector on a three-year contract following a successful trial. "Giovanni is going to add creativity and unpredictability to our forward line," said Brøndby coach René Meulensteen. "He is a good reader of the game and a very direct forward." Brøndby take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Cup on 14 and 28 September.
